You're in for a treat. Opeth are FANTASTIC live. Mikael Akerfeldt also has some of the most hilarious stage banter on the planet.
I love Opeth, but they've been hit-or-miss for me live. Hoping for a grand slam tonight.
Stoked for Nachtmystium, though. And High On Fire always deliver.
you can't go wrong with a bill like that. Nachmystium drops off the bill when they reach the west coast... but only to be replaced by Baroness
the show was so good it was just stupid. I had minor 'whines' about the sound, but all the bands delivered. Opeth were incredible and Mikael WAS hilarious.
They played one song off of Morning Rise that I would have replaced with something off the past two albums, but other than that their set was awesome. Wait, I should save this for our awesome review of the show. yeah.
also think Motorhead show openers ASG are worth a mention here. they just got added to the bill a week ago i think. Their Win Us Over album is one of the catchiest hard rock records of the year imo, something any Torche fan could get into.
hey betsey,
I didn't even know they were on the bill! I just friended them on myspace, and will check em out.
